With the transformation in modern medical models and the increasingly diversified needs of patients, building a harmonious and mutually trusting doctor-patient community relationship has become the key to improving the quality of medical services, enhancing patients’ sense of access to medical care, and promoting medical effects. Medical social worker is an indispensable member of the medical team, whose interdisciplinary background knowledge and professional skills provide unique advantages for building a harmonious doctor-patient community relationship. However, the current subjects of research on the doctor-patient community are still limited to the medical staff and patients, and there is a lack of relevant research that uses interdisciplinary thinking and tools to explore the path of building a doctor-patient community. Therefore, under the guidance of the spiral research idea of action research method, by sorting out the action paths of medical social workers in carrying out pediatric neurosurgery specialist services in the past five years, three analytical tools from management, namely the strategic decision-making process model, the organization- stakeholder fit model, and the value proposition canvas, were used to solve the problems and dilemmas in the different stages of building a doctor-patient community. On these foundations, practical knowledge was produced, providing valuable experience and methods for medical social workers to build a doctor-patient community.

The professional development of medical social workers currently faces several dilemmas, such as insufficient professionalism, unbroken professional barriers, and an incomplete policy system. To address these dilemmas, medical social workers should clarify the dimensions of their professional capabilities and strive to improve their professional capabilities, building a professional capability framework focusing on problem-solving. Meanwhile, with the popularization of AI technology, the cross-field integration and development of “AI + medical social workers” have brought new opportunities for the professional capability construction of medical social workers. For example, big data can enhance the optimization of electronic health record services; virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality can facilitate the electronic standardization of social worker training for clients; and machine learning can promote the transformation of the social work service model towards “risk prediction and advance intervention,” assisting in improving direct service capabilities. ChatGPT and VR remote consultation systems can be used for supervision services, big data cloud classrooms and robot teaching assistants can broaden learning channels, and natural language processing technology can assist in professional document writing, aiding in enhancing indirect service capabilities. However, applying AI technology to the professional capacity construction of medical social workers may also lead to the alienation of the professional service relationship of medical social workers from needs assessment and relationship building to service intervention, further causing ethical risks brought by demand bias, relationship alienation, and weakened subjectivity. Therefore, it is necessary to rationally view AI’s “double-edged sword” effect. While enjoying the field transformation brought about by high and new technology, it is also imperative to address the subsequent challenges from the perspectives of social work professional assessment and review, educational supervision, and ethical awareness enhancement.

Objective:To investigate the clinical and pathological features of pediatric NTRK-rearranged tumors.Methods:Four NTRK-rearranged soft tissue tumors and one renal tumor at Shanghai Children′s Medical Center, Shanghai Jiaotong University and Singapore KK Women′s and Children′s Hospital from January 2017 to September 2019 were identified. Pan-TRK immunohistochemistry, and the ALK and ETV6 gene break-apart fluorescence in situ hybridizations (FISH) were performed. NTRK gene rearrangement was detected using sequencing-based methods.Results:There were 3 males and 2 females in this study. The patients were between 3 months and 13 years of age. Histologically, the tumors were infiltrative spindle cell tumors with variable accompanying inflammatory cells. Immunohistochemistry showed positive reactivity for pan-TRK in all tumors, with nuclear staining for NTRK3 fusion, and cytoplasmic staining for NTRK1 fusion. The molecular testing revealed NTRK gene fusions (one each of TPM3-NTRK1, ETV6-NTRK3 and DCTN1-NTRK1, and two cases of LMNA-NTRK1). Two patients were receiving larotrectinib. The others were are well without disease, with follow-up durations of 9 to 29 months.Conclusions:NTRK-rearranged mesenchymal tumors from soft tissue sites and kidney are identified. A novel DCTN1-NTRK1 fusion is described. Pan-TRK immunohistochemistry is useful for diagnosis. NTRK-targeted therapy may be an option for unresectable, recurrent or metastatic cases.

Objective:
To investigate the effect of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on apoptosis of breast cancer cell line MCF-7 induced by cisplatin (DDP), MSCs derived from breast cancer (BC-MSCs) or adjacent non-cancerous tissues (BN-MSCs) were isolated, cultured and identified.
Methods:
BC-MSCs and BN-MSCs were isolated and cultured by tissue adherent method. The differentiation potential of BC-MSCs was detected by osteogenic and adipogenic induction, and cell surface markers of BC-MSCs and BN-MSCs were evaluated by flow cytometry. MCF-7 cells were co-treated with DDP and conditioned medium (CM) collected from BC-MSCs and BN-MSCs after being cultured for 48 hours, respectively. Inhibition rate of cell proliferation was evaluated by MTT. Cell apoptosis and viability were detected by MUSE cell analyzer. Cytokines in MSC-CM were detected by Luminex liquid chip. Interleukin 6 (IL-6) mRNA expressions in MCF-7 cells with different treatment were detected by RT-PCR.
Results:
The morphology of BC-MSCs and BN-MSCs successfully isolated and cultured was uniform fibroblast-like clusters under the microscope. These cells expressed high levels of CD29 and CD44, but neither CD14 nor CD34 were detected. MSCs could also differentiate into osteoblasts and adipocytes after specific induction. After treatment with 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40 and 80 μmol/L DDP, the inhibitory rates of proliferation of MCF-7 cells in DDP group were (17.33±2.00)%, (22.37±0.73)%, (30.77±1.23)%, (44.93±1.27)%, (62.03 ±1.97)% and (73.93±1.10)%, respectively. While the inhibitory rates of DDP+ BC-MSCs group were (8.27±0.63)%, (11.50±1.30)%, (20.57±0.93)%, (32.60 ±1.90)%, (52.27±0.73)% and (62.13±2.17)%, respectively. The inhibitory rates of DDP+ BN-MSCs group were (12.90±1.60)%, (16.53±2.87)%, (25.90±1.50)%, (39.40±2.40)%, (57.40±0.70)% and (69.03±1.07)%, respectively. The inhibitory rates of DDP+ BC-MSCs group were significantly lower than those of DDP group (

Background and purpose:Recently, studies showed that non-steroidal anti-inlfammatory drugs (NSAIDs) could reduce the incidence of cancer. Whether ibuprofen could inhibit the growth of hepatocellular carcinoma cells had not been reported yet. In the current study, we investigated the effects of ibuprofen on hepatoma carcinoma BEL-7402 cells and the relevant mechanisms. Methods: Hepatocellular carcinoma BEL-7402 cells were randomly divided into 7 groups:the control group and the ibuprofen groups (0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 mmol/L). The effect of ibu-profen on BEL-7402 HCC cells was measured by MTT method, the cell cycles were analyzed by flow cytometry (FCM), cell vitality and apoptosis were determined by cell analyzer. PCNA, Cyclin D1, Bcl-2 and COX-2 protein levels were examined by Western blot, and the expressions of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) were measured by ELISA. Results:After the exposure to ibuprofen, the suppression ratio of BEL-7402 cells was increased (P<0.05). BEL-7402 cell vitality was decreased by degrees significantly (P<0.05), early apoptosis of BEL-7402 cells was increased (P<0.05), and the G0/Gl phase ratio was increased significantly compared with control group (P<0.05). Ibuprofen effectively decreased PCNA, Cyclin D1, Bcl-2 and COX-2 expressions in BEL-7402 cells (P<0.05), and decreased PGE2 protein expression in cell culture supernatants sig-nificantly (P<0.05). Conclusion:Ibuprofen is effective for inhibiting the proliferations, increasing apoptosis and blocking cell cycles of BEL-7402 HCC cells. The anti-tumor mechanisms of ibuprofen may be related with the inhibition of COX-2 and PGE2 expressions.
